Biography
Titus Livius was born in Patavium, Cisalpine Gaul, Roman Republic in 59 BC, and the civil wars during his teenage years prevented him from studying in Rome or Greece. He went to Rome in the 30s BC, where he was educated in philosophy and rhetoric. He was able to devote most of his life to his writings due to his financial freedom, and his work Ab Urbe Condita Libri covered the history of the Romans from the founding of Rome in 753 BC to the death of Augustus in 14 AD. He left Rome for Patavium in his old age, and he died there in 17 AD at the age of 76.
